Early Access Review
This copycat was created to leech off the success of Terraria, and sadly I fell for it. The developers were moderately active in updating the game while I was playing, but it was also clear that they had other priorities. Compared to the game that inspired it, this one has very limited options in terms of both building and combat.

The one extra feature it does have, that being the ability to travel to new worlds, is lack-luster. Granted there are a few unique structures and biomes one might find depending on the world they visit, but in the end these things provide no interesting rewards. In Terraria, exploration meant finding crazy new items and unlocking new characters for your growing city. In Starbound it mainly means finding new tiles to use in construction, most of which are boring to look at.

Don't bother with this one. Purchasing it will do nothing to rekindle the flame that Terraria lit in our hearts.
